Interesting, I typed it into the Meteoritical Bulletin search site and nothing shows up: Here is the link I used: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php In any case, how much of it is really out there? Only three stones weighing a total of 338 grams is recorded. Adam On 11/2/2017

I think there may be something amiss here when several dozen stones were offered under La'gad name when only three are listed with a TKW of only 338 grams. This leads to the question; who studied this exact stone? Self-pairings are so prevalent these days that prospective buyers have the

I looked through the catalog and was shocked to see unclassified and unnamed stones being offered up as lunar and Martian meteorites! Wow, the consignor must have saved a lot by completely bypassing the classification process. Just throw out a worthless COA instead! In the case of the

I had the honor and the pleasure (while they were temporarily in my possession)  of personally examining up-close some of the meteorites in this auction that are from Western Sahara.  I am no longer in possession of any of the meteorites in this auction.  All of these specimens from Western
